cds-question@unistra.frmagellanic-cloudsopen-star-clustersThe YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) and STEP (The SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) projects are deep g, i photometric surveys carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) and devoted to study the outskirts of the Magellanic System. A main goal of YMCA and STEP is to identify candidate stellar clusters and complete their census out to the outermost regions of the Magellanic Clouds. We adopted a specific overdensity search technique coupled with a visual inspection of the colour-magnitude diagrams to select the best candidates and estimate their ages. To date, we analysed a region of 23 square degrees in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud, detecting 85 candidate cluster candidates, 16 of which have estimated ages falling in the so-called age gap. We use these objects together with literature data to gain insight into the formation and interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds.2020MNRAS.499.4114Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/499/4114CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/4114GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/499/4114/clusters (Cluster properties)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/4114/clusters?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/4114/clusters?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/4114/clusters?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true63.8302-70.76970.0055555555555555565/8267 6/33058-33059 33064-33065 33082 33168 33797 33808-33809 37409 37411 38921-38923 38944https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/499/4114?format=asciidefaultJ/MNRAS/499/4114/clustersCluster propertiesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
